Dead black cat near central reservation
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4910506.
Travelling westbound on A50 around 7:30pm I saw what looked like an adult black cat lying near the central reservation. It was on the Doveridge Bypass section of the A50 just before the roundabout where you turn left for Stafford/Uttoxeter A518 (Derby Road). Unfortunately my dashcam was unplugged at the time to charge my phone so I am unable to confirm but it looked like a dead black cat.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about the animal on our network.
Safety is our highest priority and any animals on the carriage way that pose a risk to vehicles and their occupants will be removed as quickly and safely as possible.
Household pets, such as a dogs and cats, will be retrieved, and we endeavour to reunite pets with their owners if they can be identified through microchips or other identification. Wild animals, lying off the carriageway, on verges or the central reservation, are normally left to naturally decay unless they are a particular hazard, a danger to public health or there is a statutory obligation for testing or removal.
Our local inspector team will make these assessments during their regular safety inspections.
Kind regards National Highways
